Explain the reasons behind the abandonment of Chaco Canyon. Why is there more than one reason behind its abandonment?

Dendrochronologists study tree rings to learn about past climates. Trees in temperate areas form one growth ring per year. Scientists can look at the rings and identify climate conditions during each year of the tree’s life. Scientists found long droughts in both the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. This is the same period when the Anasazi were leaving Chaco Canyon. Under normal conditions it was hard to support their villages in the harsh environment of northern New Mexico. When years of drought occurred, the densely populated Anasazi pueblos could no longer raise enough food. Other forces could have pushed the Anasazi away from Chaco as well.
